"We will win in South Carolina," Mr. McCain said of the state where he lost in 2000. South Carolina Republicans vote on Saturday.

"I congratulate the governor. I just talked to him on the phone and congratulate him on his victory. Starting tomorrow, we're going to win South Carolina, and we're going to go on and win the nomination," the Arizona senator said after his loss to a former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney.

"I congratulate him on that Michigan welcomed their native son with their support," Mr. McCain added.

"I said we would win in New Hampshire. We will win in South Carolina."

Asked to respond to Mr. Romney's comments that "It's a victory of optimism over Washington-style pessimism," the four-term senator passed on commenting, saying, "I would not know what he's talking about."
